Chapter 874: The Wind Direction Is Out of Control
"Is it because of what Leo said about the awards?" he had been watching her all the time, and naturally knew when she had not looked right.
Leila nodded, "Yes." I think someone might be preparing to pit me. β
If it were Roy in the past, he would definitely follow closely to ask who was cheating on her, but this time he didn't ask directly, but thought about it himself.
This was the inspiration from his trip to South Africa. Xiao Xi's fall from the sky made him feel Laila's worry, and also made him realize that he was too dependent on her many times. Even if it is thousands of miles away from her, she will take care of her. But he is a man, he should be her support, how can he always put the cart before the horse?
"I remember you said before that the Oscar jury is like a rebellious child, the more you expect it to go east, the more it will go west. After thinking for a moment, Roy got this answer that shocked him.
This answer is terrible. If someone doesn't want Leila to win the award, as long as many media are brushed up on Leila's good words, won't she be able to win that award?
If this speculation is true, then the person who did such a thing is really too bastard!
Leila was a little surprised that he came up with her guess so quickly, not that she was suspicious of his brain, but that she had always been optimistic about his intelligence. It's just that this guy is too lazy, as long as it is a question that can be thought of by her, he always throws it to her.
"Let's hope not. I haven't been paying much attention to the media lately, so I'll check it out when I get home. β
"What if it's true?"
yes, what if it's true? That's what Leila has been thinking about since then. Movies that were abandoned by the Oscars because they were favored by the media are not one or two, and they like to show their authority with maverick answers.
For the time being, she can only use the answer that The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy to calm her anxious heart. The accumulation of the first two parts, coupled with the impact of the third part, has at least an 80% chance of winning that award in her calculations.
But if someone really does something absolutely bad, she can't make another judgment about what will happen to things.
"Let's take a look at the situation first. β
Leila wished she had been overly worried, but when she got home and saw the direction of the wind on the Internet, she knew that her guess was at least 99%, if not 100%, if not 100%.
She first looked at the relevant websites of her own media, and compared to other media, there were not many arguments about her relationship with Roy. Instead, focus more on the box office of "The Lord of the Rings", for example, yesterday officially exceeded one billion in the world, and the popularity has not dropped much, in most countries, it firmly occupies the first place in the weekly box office rankings.
Not to mention in North America, where the box office has made other studios jealous, and those who happen to have films that happen to be released in the summer are even more eager to move the release schedule back two weeks.
With such a strong box office, Leila's FB has poured into many fans and her fans. They left messages praising the movie for being well made and not breaking the original film. Many people even left messages under her account, celebrating in advance her sweeping awards season at the end of this year and the beginning of next year. One of the hottest calls is that she will be the best director at next year's Oscars, and like her fiancΓ©, she will break the age record.
After reading FB and her own news website, she began to look through the news in other places. It didn't matter, she finally knew that things were almost out of control when she wasn't paying attention.
The direction of the outside world frightened her, and almost everyone praised her and her Lord of the Rings in every way. This has never happened before, and even the first two parts of the Lord of the Rings are not considered good by everyone, at least those who are happy to hack her on weekdays are picky in their eggs, and can always find some specious "faults".
But this time, the media that have been hacking her have all turned the wind and gone in the direction of praising her. The New York Post, for example, used strong words like "scheduled for the Oscar for Best Director next year" to report on the success of Leila and The Lord of the Rings.
Leila knows very well that when your enemies are complimenting you, if you are not about to be trampled to death and begging for mercy, you must be doing something.
At least for a while, she couldn't have ruined or bought the New York Post, so they could only guess one purpose when they spoke for her with strings of praise β to squeeze out the best director she had coveted for so long and had at her fingertips!
The one who will make this kind of action must be someone who has studied the Hollywood film industry and the Oscars very well. Among such people, whoever has had a holiday with Lyra can only think of Cooper.
"I haven't heard from him for a long time, is it coming up again?" Leila thinks he is the most suspicious, the most motivated and capable, and the most important thing is his hatred for her. Ever since she stepped into the Hollywood film industry, he has been trying his best to get her in trouble. And he has connections and can reach so many media outlets to cooperate with his boasting campaign.
But this person has disappeared for a long time, or there is no movement that she can pay attention to, in short, she has long been thrown into the corner of memory. If it weren't for this incident, I don't know when she would remember this person.
Could it really be him?, Leila pondered uncertainly.
However, it was actually him!
While Leila is looking for someone to investigate the matter and devise a countermeasure, the "suspect" Mr. Cooper is being questioned by his master.
"Is this really going to make her not get that award?" Faisal didn't look very good. Although he agreed to this approach, it doesn't mean that he really believes that finding a bunch of media to brag about Leila can make her lose the trophy.
"Believe me, Mr. Faisal. I've been in Hollywood for so long, and I know a lot about Oscar preferences. As long as we blow the wind in the wrong direction before the awards, they won't choose Leila. Cooper said with confidence, but only he knew it, and he was very unconfident about this method.
This time it took a huge price to grasp the direction of the wind, because he knew that this time Leila was likely to really win the award that all directors coveted the most. This is something he can't accept in any way. That's why this operation took place.
But whether the outcome will be as rosy as he told Faisal, I'm afraid only God knows the final result. Because if she just used a movie to win that award, he would have at least half the chance of snatching the trophy away from her hands. What makes him uneasy is that this is a trilogy, which can also be said to gather the energy of three movies to impact the awards.
